Dan,

If Ford and Shelby come out with a new, original, real cobra, I don't think it will be anything like the old original cobra's. I don't think Ford will reproduce a car with a thin aluminum body, no windows, no locks or outside door handles. I don't Ford will start reproducing 427 SO's again either. I would think the car would have all modern comforts, with a 4.6 DOHC engine or something like that. Ford can't use CSX #s, as used before. All vins have to be a 17 digit code, of which Ford has some designated characters.

If Ford comes out with a new, original, real cobra, I'm not sure if it will affect the current CSX4000 cars, (deflate them) as the new cobra will likely be completely different. I would think the new cobra is directed towards a different buyer, different market to some degree.

Will the new, original, real GT40's affect the old originals?
